TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
You might want to check the archives on this, as the subject gets done to
death every few weeks.

Tech writing is certainly not what it was when I was in it during the
Cold War and the frantic building of new weapons. Obviously, the major
influence today is not that hardware as much as it is software. In the
opinion of you who are today's tech writers, young ones and old timers, what
would you specify as the important capabilities and credentials needed by
today's candidates for tech writing careers. - Herm
